The flat link chain that starts said type can be installed in the vehicle drive unit.When using in stepless conical pulley flexible drive transmission (CVT) as the part of transmission for vehicles, pressure piece has the end face of special shaping, between awl dish and flat link chain, transmits pulling force as frictional force through these end faces.In the most application of in vehicle drive unit other, flat link chain is a toothed chain, and therefore this toothed chain has tooth at least one side, between gear and chain, transmit pulling force through these teeth.This flat link chain that is the toothed chain form for example can be installed in the auxiliary unit that perhaps can be used for the wheelbase of cross-over connection and differential mechanism or for example also can be used as the force transfering device use in the auxiliary drive or be used for Motor Vehicle in the transfer case of full wheel drive Motor Vehicle at this.
Flat link chain is made up of a plurality of link plates at this; These link plates are through pressure piece hinge connection each other; Link plate is arranged in the form that this can be the contact pin group like this: a plurality of link plates be adjacent to each other ground and passed by pressure piece abreast each other; So obtain a flat link chain thus, this flat link chain can bear tensile load ground and transmit big power.
For example by means of US 5,651,746A is known this flat link chain.This known flat link chain has pressure piece, and these pressure pieces are mutual to putting with transmission power on rolling surface.These rolling surfaces based on radius be called as the best at this in the window inside relevant with pitch.To realize the damage in advance that this known flat link chain is not kept thus in the zone of rolling surface during bearing load in advance.If transmit pulling force through this known flat link chain now; Then because the geometrical shape of the rolling surface of pressure piece and can be created in pressure piece and the disadvantageous power distribution in the zone of putting face of leaning on link plate; It is dangerous and cause peak stress, this peak stress to promote that flat link chain lost efficacy in advance thus that this has improved that rocker pressure piece reverses in the hole of link plate.
Summary of the invention
Set out thus, task of the present invention is now, and a kind of flat link chain is provided, in this flat link chain pressure piece with link plate by the zone of putting face in exist more favourable power to distribute, eliminate said problem thus.
Now, in order to solve this task, the present invention proposes a kind of flat link chain; In particular for vehicle drive unit; This flat link chain has a plurality of through the pressure piece link plates that connect of hinge each other, and wherein, pressure piece laterally extends with respect to the longitudinal direction of flat link chain and is arranged in the hole of link plate; On pressure piece and link plate, be configured with separately construct arching by putting face; Pressure piece and link plate along these by putting face each other by putting with transmission power, pressure piece be provided with construct the rolling surface of arching, pressure piece along the mutual roll extrusion of these rolling surfaces with transmission power; Pressure piece is constructed asymmetricly on the pressure piece short transverse in the cross section that the longitudinal direction along flat link chain extends; By put face be arranged between pressure piece and the link plate the surface of contact zone that is in top on the pressure piece short transverse be on the surface of contact zone of bottom, wherein, pressure piece has at least two zones with different curvature in the zone of rolling surface.

Now can so further structure the present invention: respectively keep identical in said at least two intra-zone curvature, promptly for example the radius of curvature in these two zones be different, but keeps identical at the intra-zone separately of radius of curvature.
Propose according to another flexible program, be provided with the curvature that changes along rolling surface at least one intra-zone.Thus, at least two zones are provided with curvature different from the zone to the zone, but at least one mean curvature in these zones also can change along rolling surface, and are promptly for example variable along rolling surface.If in the separating surface zone between said at least two zones identical curvature always is set now; Wherein, This can think infinitely small, and curvature changes along the rolling surface in said two zones at least, and then this also comprises the configuration of the rolling surface of pressure piece; This configuration is constructed variablely along whole rolling surface, therefore for example confirms as functional by means of mathematical function.
Curvature regional medium and small than at first contact area that in the bending situation, produces of these adjacent pressure pieces in the zone of in straight flat link chain reversion section, bearing second contact area that produces under the tensile load situation of two adjacent pressure pieces proposed according to the present invention fully at large.If according to the present invention flat link chain two for example by two gears or situation at conical pulley flexible drive transmission under two awl dishes detour between to the reversing point that forms; Then in flat link chain according to the present invention, below above-mentioned imagining center line, producing a contact area between the rocker pressure piece; And the characteristic according to flat link chain of the present invention is that now curvature contact area above the above-mentioned imagining center line of being in of pressure piece in this second contact area than in the bending situation is medium and small.If present two zones form by means of the radius that differs from one another, then radius at first contact area, be than medium and small in the contact area on top at second contact area of bottom.Even form rolling surface with the radius that on the whole arc length of rolling surface, changes, propose according to the present invention, radius is big in second contact area than in first contact area.
Select the curvature in second contact area like this according to the present invention at this, make that point of contact or the contact area between two adjacent pressure pieces is shifted towards pressure piece height central direction on the pressure piece short transverse.Realize thus; Propagation of pressure between two rocker pressure pieces opposite each other distributes in straight flat link chain reversion section like this; Make pressure piece and link plate separately by put the counter-force that produces on the face the bottom by putting the distributing equably to a great extent on the face and do not have significant uneven distribution of face and top by putting; As being exactly the sort of situation in known flat link chain, because this uneven distribution causes rocker pressure piece reversing the trend in the hole of link plate.Also propose according to the present invention, select the curvature in the contact area first contact area, that be top like this, make that point of contact or the contact area between two adjacent pressure pieces also is shifted towards pressure piece height central direction on the pressure piece short transverse.Realize thus; Even be used on the contact area that transmits power between two rocker pressure pieces also is in rocker pressure piece or link plate under the bending situation top by putting face and bottom by putting between the face; Renitency part reversing the trend in the hole of link plate on the one hand thus, be implemented on the other hand leaning on of top put face and bottom by putting uniform power distribution between the face.
Now can so further structure the present invention: the ratio of the curvature of the curvature of second contact area and first contact area be in about 0.25 to about 0.9, preferred about 0.25 to about 0.83 scope.
Thus, but the curvature value of first contact area is about 1.2 times to 4 times of curvature of second contact area, and the curvature of this second contact area is under any circumstance all less than the curvature of first contact area.Being considered to favourable curvature ratio is in about 0.5 the scope; The curvature of second contact area so value are curvature half the of first contact area; In another favourable form of implementation, the curvature of second contact area is about 7 to 16 with the ratio of the curvature of first contact area.
Select the curvature in second contact area fully at large like this, make pressure piece and the power by the region generating of putting face link plate opposing rocker pressure piece the reversing the trend that distribute with respect to link plate.
The rolling surface of rocker pressure piece has at least two and has the zone of different curvature and respectively have a definite arc length along rolling surface; Propose according to the present invention; Have than the arc length in the zone of small curve and the ratio value that has than the arc length in the zone of deep camber and be about 1 to 2; The said zone that has than small curve is second contact area, and the said zone that has than deep camber is first contact area.Can consider requirement thus: flat link chain when direct of travel commutates gear or awl dish on can occupy big bending angle.
What rolling surface formed first contact area in the rolling surface zone on top observes the top be in top on the pressure piece short transverse, what in the rolling surface zone of bottom, also have second surface of contact zone observes the top that is in the bottom on the pressure piece short transverse.If top, present two surface of contact zone is connected with the imaginary line line segment and in this line segment, draws a vertical line in the heart; Then propose according to the present invention, the central point of at least one in these two circular arc sections be in rolling surface the zone end points said connection line segment in outside the vertical line that draws in the heart.

Embodiment
Fig. 1 shows the plan view according to the pressure piece 1 of flat link chain 2 of the present invention (Fig. 3).
As can seeing without a doubt, pressure piece 1 is constructed asymmetricly on the pressure piece short transverse, promptly in upper area, has a bigger stretch wide on the last direct of travel (arrow L) at flat link chain 2 of width direction (double-head arrow B).Under installation situation, promptly when pressure piece is arranged in the hole 3 of link plate 4 with another pressure piece, another pressure piece 13 arranges with this pressure piece 1 opposed to each other, thus, two pressure pieces construct ground opposite each other roll extrusion on the rolling surface 5 of arching.
Pressure piece 1 has one first contact area 6 at this, and this first contact area each other produces during roll extrusion under the bending situation with said pressure piece 13 opposed with it when pressure piece 1, and wherein, this bending situation is for example shown in Fig. 3 of accompanying drawing.In addition, the rolling surface 5 of pressure piece 1 has one second contact area 7, when flat link chain experiences tensile load in straight flat link chain reversion section, and two pressure piece roll extrusion each other on this second contact area.
In Fig. 1 of accompanying drawing, represent from the length of the radius of the central point 8 shown in Fig. 9 of accompanying drawing at this at the dotted line shown in first contact area, from this radius structure first contact area 6, wherein, this radius is used R in Fig. 9 1Mark.In a similar manner, at the such radius of the representative of the dotted line shown in second contact area 7, rolling surface 5 is configured in second contact area 7 with this radius in Fig. 1, and this radius is from lighting and in Fig. 9, use R with the center of 9 marks among Fig. 9 2Expression.As obtaining without a doubt by means of Fig. 1 of accompanying drawing and Fig. 9, radius R 2Greater than radius R 1, thus, the curvature of rolling surface in the zone of second contact area 7 is less than the curvature of rolling surface 5 in first contact area 6.
Fig. 2 of accompanying drawing shows the pressure piece 10 according to the modification form of implementation of flat link chain, and its rolling surface 11 has the continually varying radius on whole arc length, and wherein, this also representes that by means of dotted line 12 envelope of said dotted line illustrates with solid line in Fig. 2.
Fig. 4 of accompanying drawing shows right being used to of pressure piece and explains that point of contact or surface of contact zone between rocker pressure piece 1 and 13 is from P 1To P 1 'The plan view that moves.P 1This be can be in known flat link chain produce and paint for reference purpose into contact area, and P 1 'It is the surface of contact zone that in flat link chain according to the present invention, produces, exactly in straight flat link chain reversion section, produces.As can seeing without a doubt, this surface of contact zone has been shifted towards the direction of pressure piece height center M in addition.
In a similar fashion, Fig. 5 shows and has surface of contact zone P 2The right view of rocker pressure piece, this surface of contact zone paint corresponding to the position in surface of contact zone in the known flat link chain and for reference purpose into, exactly be in the bending situation shown in Fig. 3 of accompanying drawing, and P 2 'Be illustrated in said position of bearing surface of contact zone in the load condition according to flat link chain of the present invention.As can seeing without a doubt, to bear in the load condition at this, has moved towards the direction of pressure piece height center M in two pressure pieces 1, the surface of contact zones between 13.
The effect that can see this displacement now by means of Fig. 6 and Fig. 7 of accompanying drawing.
Fig. 6 of accompanying drawing distributes in the power that this has illustrated in left side accompanying drawing half one in the straight flat link chain reversion section at known flat link chain, wherein, and at a P 1On the power F that applies be divided into act on the B bottom by putting the power F on the face 14 B, this power greater than act on the A top by putting the power F on the face 15 A, thus, owing to there is the trend with arrow 16 indications that pressure piece 1 reverses in the power skewness in the hole 3 of link plate 4.Fig. 6 has illustrated the power of bearing in the load condition in the bending situation with comparable mode and has distributed in right side accompanying drawing half one, thus, and some P 2On power F be divided into numerically the force component F that significantly distributes unevenly BAnd F A, exactly be the bottom by put face 14 and top by putting in the face 15.
Fig. 7 in left side accompanying drawing half one, illustrated now on the flat link chain constructed according to the invention, with Fig. 6 in left side accompanying drawing half one bear load condition accordingly.
As can seeing without a doubt, point of force application towards pressure piece height central direction from P 1To P 1 'Displacement make counter-force F BAnd F AThe uneven distribution notable change become the power of approximate identical size.The trend that the length with arrow 16 that pressure piece 1 reverses in the hole 3 of link plate 4 shows also significantly reduces.
Fig. 7 in right side accompanying drawing half one, illustrated now with Fig. 6 in right side accompanying drawing half one bear load condition accordingly, wherein, through P towards pressure piece height central direction surface of contact zone 2To P 2 'Displacement make resulting counter-force F AAnd F BWith in the right side of Fig. 6 accompanying drawing half one, to compare difference less, thus, the resulting component stress in the link plate is also corresponding in view of the above to be reduced and breaks to form dangerous the reduction in the link plate thus.
Fig. 8 of accompanying drawing show qualitatively now pressure piece at flat link chain 2 according to the present invention to 1,13 second contact area 7 in the distribution of compressive load per unit area.
This view makes at this to be understood without a doubt; Because the curvature in the zone of second contact area 7 is less; It is such result that compressive load per unit area distributes: it is constructed evenly owing to curvature is little and is not equivalent to for example go up in short transverse (double-head arrow H) lens of jumping-up, is the sort of situation in known flat link chain.
Fig. 9 of accompanying drawing also illustrates now; The central point 8,9 that is used to form the radius of first contact area 6 or second contact area 7 is positioned at vertical line 17 tops, and said vertical line will separate in vertical with the line segment that is connected between second contact area, 7 tops 19 observing first contact area, 6 tops 18 lay respectively at the outside on the pressure piece short transverse H in the heart.The extending longitudinally of first contact area 6, promptly roughly has the double numerical value of the arc length of rolling surface 5 in the zone of second contact area 7 at this along the arc length of rolling surface 5.
Therefore realize that through flat link chain according to the present invention power significantly uniformly by putting between face rocker pressure piece and link plate distributes, thus, the dangerous corresponding reduction of the stress cracking on the link plate.And the different curvature in the zone of the rolling surface through rocker pressure piece makes the different load conditions of bearing in straight flat link chain reversion section and under the bending situation, obtain considering.
In addition, about the above characteristic of in details, not describing in detail of the present invention, clearly with reference to claims and accompanying drawing.
